Dolce Vita Resident News

VETERAN’S ASSOCIATION AT

DOLCE VITA

Next meeting will be Monday January 14, at

3 PM in the Craft Room. All are welcome to

attend!

Many Thanks To Our Many Donors By the time you read this, your many

Thanksgiving and Christmas donations will

have been delivered to the San Carlos

Reservation/Mission. Over 120 very gra-

cious Apache families were fed thanks to

your generous gifts of money and food at

Thanksgiving time. Many of our residents

also made beautiful hand knitted

scarves, hats, gloves etc.

Sister Ruth Barbra was all smiles knowing

that many Apache families would be fed

for the holiday. Over thirty caring Dolce

Vita residents, in thirteen vehicles, gave

their time and effort to loading the many

boxes of food. They also drove up and

unloaded the precious cargo onto wait-

ing empty tables for the Apache volun-

teers to sort for distribution to the fami-

lies.

The Christmas donations are scheduled

for delivery in the near future, so the total

for Christmas wont be known until after

that distribution. Please know that the to-

tal will be made known afterward.

Carol and I feel blessed to be living in

such a giving and caring community like

Dolce Vita. From our first food drive six-

teen years ago to the present, our deci-

sion to join the Dolce Vita Community has

been reaffirmed. Thank you for your con-

tinued support of our less fortunate

Apache neighbors.

BIBLE STUDY NEWS We thank all who stopped by our table at

the Activities Expo. We want those who

shared prayer concerns to know that we

lifted those up in prayer and are trusting

that God is working in their lives. If anyone

has a prayer concern, please call Ron

DeCarlo (623-516-8491). We heard from

some people that they are hesitant to

come on Tuesdays because they can’t

make it every week or they don’t want to

have homework. Here’s the good news…

there is NO HOMEWORK! We meet and our

teacher has prepared a lesson that illumi-

nates Scripture. We all discuss it and see

what the Bible is teaching us and how we

can apply it to our lives. While there is of-

ten a theme or a study that runs several

weeks, you do not have to attend every

Tuesday. You will learn about the Bible and

be encouraged and strengthened every

time you do attend. So please consider

coming to our Tuesday morning gatherings

at 9:00 A.M. in the card room.
